I will now want to do some massive spamming , with on-topic posts. I want to get in the first hundred. Currently, I'm number 134. Damnit, never cared about postcount, now I'll have to be in top 100, to get described. I want to see what others know about me.

Seeing you in a lot of forums that you used to frequent infreguently, I would judge that you're doing well in that regard

At least I know who you are now.

	Frontier! Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I have no idea how anyone at the frontier can get that high an amount of posts- it doesn't seem as if the OT is frequented much and in the story threads there doesn't seem to be a high level of #of posts... How do they get the high post counts there Shadowstrike?

-You should definately post here more
Especially because Civ III is coming!

I know which part of the world you live in, but not whether you're an expat.

And isn't 'British' a good guess for where you live?

Look at the OT archives. Yes, theyare all from the past six months to a year. Plus, we play in a lot of story forums. DotW, AoI, BNG, and so forth. There was a time when I even modded two forums.... but that was when BNG II was still around.....

Had/Has A Website: May 1999
Contribution to Apolyton: Civ III, Spam

<b>Description:</b>
Most people hardly ever see a post by Mao. He is the master of spammy posts, posts with little content and that just seem to fade into the background.
Mao is a poster of few words.
I first heard of Mao when he reached Deity level (the first time) and was disgusted, I posted on all on-topic forums except for the CTP ones and I had never seen a post by him at all. Then I discovered the Off-Topic.
He lost his Deity status first when a PCR of 1000 posts hit him (or 10%) then he regained it and a forum bug reset his #of posts to 0. Mark fixed that and returned to him 10100 posts and he was a deity once again.
He posted for a while, then disappeared to "The Frontier" an online story forum with "Chairman Milo" and "Shadowstrike" as well as other Apolytoners.
His username was chosen because Mao was an ally to him in a Civ II game.
